Author's POV
Bella clutched on her seatbelt tightly as Alexander started driving the car very roughly.
She looked at him scared but couldn't say anything. She has no idea how to handle this situation. She can understand that Alexander is angry because Amanda agreed for that photoshoot, offcourse he is worried about his reputation. But she doesn't want to get punished for Amanda's mistakes.
'Think something Bella... Otherwise you are fucking dead.'
She panicked.
She saw huge Mansion coming to her view. Her eyes widened at the site. Huge garden came to the view when his car entered through huge metal gate. There was a huge fountain which was looking like a mini waterfall.
Her thoughts got broken when she got roughly pulled by her hair.
"Ahh..."
She screamed trying to push him away but Alexander dragged her inside.
Bella stumbled forward when he pushed her roughly in the living room.
"Fuck"
She cursed when she almost tripped due to high heels.
She turned around madly but her expressions turned horrified when she saw him loading his gun.
"You had one job... I told you, do anything you want, fuck whoever you want but don't ruin my reputation... Can't you understand this one fucking simple thing."
He growled.
"Enough is enough now... I am fed up of you."
He stepped forward and she stepped back.
Bella shook her head furiously.
"Marino's don't kill family"
She mumbled.
Alexander scoffed.
"You think you are my family?... Have you ever tried to become one... You are no one to me..."
Her heart sunk in her chest as he stormed towards her. He pointed gun at her but she grabbed his hand.
Alexander's body filled with goosebumps when her cold hands touched his warm body. He has touched Amanda only once but this time her touch felt different. It wasn't this weird or different.
He stopped and looked at her glossy eyes, this is the first time he is watching her cry. Arrogant woman like Amanda never really cry atleast he haven't witnessed it yet.
"Leave my hand"
He gritted.
"You will kill me"
She replied looking at him.
"You deserve it"
He replied madly.
"No! Because I haven't signed the contract... Yes i agreed to do the photoshoot but trust me i had no idea that they were talking about nude photoshoot... I swear, i had no idea..."
She lied.
"Why would I do something which will get me in the problem"
Alexander jerked his hand back from her hold and that foreign feeling disappeared.
He rubbed his forehead with tip of his gun and sighed. He really can't hurt her because she is family, it's against their rules.
"Infact, I am leaving modeling"
She declared and his eyes snapped towards her.
"What did you say?"
He frowned looking at her confused.
"I am quitting... I don't want to do modelling anymore"
She replied hoping he will believe her. Bella doesn't really know anything about modeling, she is lying so she doesn't have to deal with it till she is there.
"And why is that?"
Alexander scowled at her.
"Because your reputation matters to me... I have realised my mistakes. You must have suffered because of me."
She tried to act innocent.
Alexander looked at her weirdly, he leaned forward and sniffed her to see if she is drunk.
"Did you hit your head somewhere?"
He asked and she smiled awkwardly.
"Whatever it is, if you create any problems for me then no one can save you."
He warned and walked away.
Bella sighed in relief as she managed to survive for now.
After roaming around the mansion aimlessly Bella finally found the maid who is supposed to help her in this mansion, around these people and to keep eye on Bella, Valentino has hired her.
"They don't share a bedroom?"
Bella asked amused.
"No, boss doesn't like sharing his room with madam Amanda..."
She replied and led her towards Amanda's room.
Bella nodded.
"Bitch must be annoying."
She said and maid glared at her.
"Hey, don't give me that look... I am your madam for now..."
Bella mocked and she sighed.
"Okay, so how long you are working for these people?"
Bella questioned.
"For two years..."
She replied.
"Is there anyone i should be scared of..."
Bella asked.
"Everyone!"
Maid replied.
"Specially Boss himself..."
Bella gulped.
"So there is no one who can save me from your boss?!"
"His mother can save you but after Amanda's behavior, I doubt she will be interesting in you. Afterall you are Amanda now."
Maid shrugged.
"This is Amanda's room..."
She said and left.
Bella entered the room with amused eyes, it was huge. Bigger than her whole house.
"Oh my god!"
She looked at in awe.
"It's like a movie... Wow!"
She looked around excitingly, it has huge chandelier and beautiful paintings. Big balcony and beautiful classy bathroom. Which is bigger than her room back in her house.
"Yeah!"
She screamed in excitement when she saw bathtub.
She quickly stripped and went for a bubble bath.
She jumped in the water like a excited kid.
"This is so good, I am going to give Jasmine all of this... She will be so happy"
She said happily.
She curiously tested essential oils and body wash. After taking relaxing bath she wore a fluffy robe and went to the closet.
"Fuck me"
Her eyes widened when she looked at Amanda's designer clothes. It was filled with only expensive brands.
She has more clothes than Bella has ever seen her life.
Bella started looking for something to wear, she was being careful not to ruin her expensive clothes. She doesn't like using othe people's things but here she has no choice.
She scrunched her nose when she didn't find anything decent to wear. Amanda has all sexy night suits. Even her dresses are revealing and Bella is not comfortable in that at least not between these stranger people.
She finally grabbed gym shorts and tank top and wore it for the bed.
Bella laid on the bed and sighed in pleasure.
"It's softer than silk... Why this world is so unfair... Here some people can't even get one meal properly and these criminals are living in heaven... Why God?"
She complained.
Bella tried to sleep but her stomach growled in hunger. She haven't eaten anything since afternoon. She drank water and went back to the bed, she has learnt how to sleep on empty stomach. Her father used to starve her sometimes as a punishment so this is not a new thing for her.
"This will change our lives, i promise you Jasmine... Just few more days, wait for me."
Bella mumbled and fell asleep.
She woke up in the morning and after freshing up she dashed downstairs towards the kitchen. Her stomach was growling with hunger.
Bella entered the kitchen and saw basket of berries on the counter, she grinned like a greedy child. She grabbed fistful berries and stuffed her mouth. Maids were busy in their words so no one was paying attention to her.
"Amanda?"
Bella gasped and quickly turned around when she heard powerful feminine voice.
"Mother in law!?"
Bella mumbled mouth full of berries.
Author's POV "Mother in law" Bella mumbled looking at the woman who is Amanda's mother in law. They have told many things about Anamika and Bella understood that this woman is overall good. But her gaze was making her uncomfortable. She quickly gulped down the berries and looked at her nervously. On other hand Anamika looked at the girl who was standing in front of her in shorts and tank top, lips coated with berry juice. She was kind of messy and Amanda isn't like this. "We need to talk" Anamika said sternly. Bella nodded and walked towards her, Anamika frowned when she saw handprint on her cheek. She touched Bella's cheek and her face turned furious. Bella looked at her confused when she stormed out of the kitchen. Bella grabbed the tissue paper and wiped her mouth. "Stop eating like a pig Bella, you are Amanda now." She scolded herself. Anamika went to the living room where Alexander was waiting for them. "Did you raised your hand on her?" Anamika asked madly. Al
Author's POV Bella looked at the telephone which was in living room and hope sparkled in her naive heart. "May be my room has one too" She mumbled and ran towards her room. She entered inside and started looking for a telephone. She has no idea why modern house like this still has telephones but she isn't complaining. She grabbed the telephone and sat on the sofa. "Please god, please make it work..." She pleaded and dialled Jasmine's number. Bella rocked her leg impatiently as it rang but Jasmine didn't receive it. It got disconnected and Bella huffed. She placed it down disappointed. "She must be working in the kitchen." She sighed. But her eyes sparkled when it rang. Bella quickly received the call. "Hello Jasmine!" She yelled in excitement. Jasmine was in the kitchen when she saw missed call from unknown number. She wiped her hand and called back. Her eyes widened when she heard Bella's voice, she quickly looked around and ran towards her room. She hid in the b
Author's POV Bella gasped when she lost her balance but large hand got wrapped around her waist not letting her fall. Alexander picked her up like a toddler and placed on the floor. "Fuck!" Bella looked horrified. "You wanted to try... Satisfied?" He Smirked. "You want to kill me!?" She said looking at him madly. "I love to kill people, but not like this. I have different ways..." He chuckled and Bella looked at him shocked. "What do you want?" She asked. He stepped towards her and she stepped back. Her back touched the railing and she gulped nervously when he caged her against it. He leaned down to her level with mysterious smirk. Bella looked at his handsome face, he looks Even more perfect in broad daylight. Sharp features, pointed nose, amber eyes and raven black hair. He is exactly the way Bella fantasize her man. "I want you...." He whispered evilly and she looked at him with wide eyes. "What?" Her mouth opened. "I want you In my room... We are going
Author's POV Those things fell from Bella's hand as she saw Alexander standing in front of her. She smiled embarrassed. Alexander Smirked and picked up the vibrator. He scowled at it and tossed in the dustbin. "It's small" He said arrogantly. Bella looked at him with open mouth and was about to run away but he grabbed her by the arm and slammed against the wall. Bella gulped nervously when he came too close, his rich scent was alluring and she is not used to deal with handsome man like him. She can feel butterflies dancing in her stomach. She looked at his mysterious eyes and her heart started hammering. "You don't need these little toys" He whispered in her ear. "You can get bigger if you want." Bella's heart skipped a beat by his words but she was getting turn on too. His hand was on her back and he was drawing circles there. He roamed his hand on her arm and travelled towards her waist. She closed her eyes when he touched her neck and caressed her soft skin. Bella l
Author's POV Alexander came out of the shower early in the morning after doing his workout. It was 6 am and Bella was still asleep. He ruffled water from his wet hair and looked at her. He chuckled at the way she was sleeping. She has turned upside down. Bedsheet is tangled around her body, hair are messy and her lips were parted. He let her sleep and walked towards the closest. He couldn't believe that he is letting this stranger girl sleep in his bed. But he have to keep her close to keep an eye on her. Alexander is very angry with Valentino, he dared to deceive him. When Anamika met Amanda who is actually Bella, she had a doubt that something is not right with her. Everything was different, her voice, behavior and accent. Anamika shared her doubt with Alexander but he couldn't point out difference because he has never paid attention towards Amanda. Then they heard Bella's conversation with Jasmine. Poor girl has no idea that every phone is connected to his office pho
Author's POV Bella got scared that man suddenly came forward to kiss her. She quickly react and pushed him back. His head snapped aside when she slapped him hard. He looked at her shocked. "Amanda are you crazy?" "Don't touch me, bastard" Bella yelled. She doesn't care who is he, she won't tolerate this kind of behavior. "Bitch!" He clenched his jaw and stepped towards her. She threw coffee on his face and kicked him in balls. He fell on the floor with groan and Bella punched his nose. Alexander was watching everything along with his all employees. His lips were in full smile. He didn't know that his replaced wife is feisty too. He liked it. His eyes widened when Bella was about to smash flower vase on his face. He quickly rushed towards her and pulled her away by the waist. "It's enough, guards will handle the rest." He said. "No, he is a bastard... I am gonna kill him." Bella threw fists at him. Alexander sighed. "Why are you beating your own friend?" He asked
Author's POV. Bella was sitting quietly beside Alexander while he was driving. She was feeling awkward after hugging and kissing him on the cheek. On other hand his mind was planning evil games, thinking about how to change game and manipulate the situation. "When are we going to your parents house?" She tried to break awkward silence. "Tonight, for dinner" He replied. "Who else is coming?" She asked. "My sister, Raajnandini" He answered. "Should I be scared of your father?" Bella asked nervously, as she is going to meet mafia king for the first time. "Why?" He asked, he knows that she is scared and nervous but he wanted her to talk. "You know because I left without informing n all those stupid things." She mumbled. "He doesn't know about it... Don't worry" He assured and she sighed in relief. She wanted to ask more about his parents but she was scared that he will be suspicious. "And your mother?... Is she still mad at me?" She asked. "Why don't you as
Author's POV Bella took a deep breath and turned around. "Good evening" She said looking at Anamika. "Good evening dear" Anamika smiled and gave her motherly hug. Bella's tension flew out of the window when she saw anamika's angelic smile which gave her comforting vibes. She looked at Alexander's father, Massimo and gulped. She had to look up to see into his eyes. Now she understood why Alexander looks so handsome. He has inherited everything from his father. But he didn't gave her good vibes, it was more like devil in disguise. He didn't even smile at her. "Good evening, this is for you" Bella said nervously while giving him vine bottle. "Good evening... Thanks" Massimo said with bored face and took it from her. Bella frowned at his dry behavior. She couldn't understand how Anamika chose a rude man him. She is so friendly and he isn't. And he was scary too. 'Beauty and the beast' She thought looking at them. "Is he mad at me" Bella whispered to Alexander. "No" He
